I do agree the exchange rate will have some people thinking twice about a move.

I did see something on TV a couple of days ago that said 30% of Queenslanders were living under the poverty line: if true it belies the absolute in the second sentence to some extent.

Good for you. It might be the best thing you ever did. Don't let negative, unhappy people who write silly things put you off. :-)

PS After all, it's not like life in the UK is super rosy at the moment

Asking opinions about important topics like this on the internet are pointless. Everyone has their own opinion, and one person's experience can be entirely different from another.

Only way to find out is to do it yourself.
